Infinix, a smartphone brand known for its innovative designs and features, has announced a new 3D Lighting Leather technology that will debut with the Note 30 VIP special edition later this month. The new technology combines colourful LEDs with translucent TPU leather on the edges of the back cover, creating a dynamic and futuristic effect.
What is 3D Lighting Leather technology?
According to Infinix, the 3D Lighting Leather technology has a four-layer structure consisting of an LED Light Guide Film (LFG) base layer at the bottom, which is covered in lightproof paint to enhance the transmission. The middle chassis features transparent fiberglass allowing the LEDs on the bottom layer to shine through the upper translucent TPU leather. The company claims that the TPU leather is durable, scratch-resistant, and anti-fingerprint.
The company plans to use the new 3D Lighting Leather tech alongside sound effects for dynamic notifications and alerts for various apps. For example, the LEDs might light up in a certain colour when you get a text message or flash when you have a new notification from an app. The company says that the technology will offer a fun and immersive experience for users.
How does it differ from other LED technologies?
The 3D Lighting Leather technology is not the first attempt by Infinix to incorporate LEDs into its smartphone designs. The company recently launched the GT 10 Pro, which features a Cyberpunk-inspired design and also has customizable LEDs on the back for notifications. However, the GT 10 Pro uses a single-layer LED panel that only covers a small portion of the back cover.
The 3D Lighting Leather technology, on the other hand, covers the entire edge of the back cover and creates a 3D effect with multiple colours and patterns. The company says that the technology is more advanced and energy-efficient than conventional LED panels and does not affect the battery life of the device.
